NOTHING
My inspiration has gone dry
I have not even a reply for your words
I watch the cars as they pass by
Do you see indifference in my eyes
They reveal me
I want to love but there’s no one
I want to play outside but there’s no sun
I watch the rain as it pours on
I try in vain to write a song, but there’s nothing
I shut my eyes to pass the time
I hear the church bell ring out twice
And still nothing
I want to love but there’s no one
I want to play outside but there’s no sun
And I look into the sky and I see nothing
And I reach into my heart and I feel nothing
And my lovely muse has gone and turned to nothing
And nothing is what I feel today
I want to love but there’s no one
I want to play outside but there’s no sun

FOR TODAY
I try to write the words that change the world
Instead I sit with vision blurred
It seems to me it’s all been said
The same old wars have come and gone again
Recycled myths, forgotten men
The same old shadows on the walls
For today
I’m going to push it all away
I’m going to feel the love and say
It might be all right
Self-deceivers each and everyone
As we slowly turn around the sun
Our actions disregard our words
The mirrors of the past
Ignored by men as shattered glass
Why must we make the errors of our past our own
For today
I’m going to push it all away
I’m going to feel the love and say
It might be all right
When did you let it go, the love in your heart
When did you let it go, your dreams for a better world
I won’t let it go away
For today
I’m going to push it all away
I’m going to feel the love and say
It might be all right

CHEMICALS
I saw you at the show last night
Cool style and long dark hair
Our eyes met to my delight
Just a passing little stare
I don’t even know a thing about you
But I’m hoping to
You know, I think that I like you
Sure enough, same time next week
I see you walk in, shy
To you this time I pledge to speak
Won’t let you pass me by
I’m already singing songs about you
It’s just a little tune
I want to be in tune with you
Once again I’ve lost my head
To a siren’s song
I have to say you turn me on
You know these chemicals between us
They move the world along
The secret’s in your siren’s song

STRUGGLE
Against them we struggle, above oppression we rise
But the hunger for power will remain our demise
Even the wise live with green in the eyes
Energy enslaved in material disguise
Technology evolves but our spirits stay the same
And we wonder why war and destruction remain
Clear out growth, yes, and profit from the mind
Ponder for a moment while we redefine
I see struggle, I see struggle
It’s weighing on my mind
I see trouble, I see trouble
It’s getting clearer all the time
You must suffer here and now, my son
For pleasures in the life to come
Puritan morality, conceptual illusion
Reducing totality to be caught in confusion
Yes, this they justify, when you invert reality
Then it’s not a lie
Where culture, custom and habit cause hate
Where the future unwrit surrenders to faith
I see struggle, I see struggle
It’s weighing on my mind
I see trouble, I see trouble
It’s getting clearer all the time

HUMILITY
I can’t do this anymore
My heart is torn, my mind’s a little worn
I have to say seduction is my friend
And here I laid it down until the end
My confidence betrayed me
My love of life will save me
And now I see it’s time to let you go
I have to say the challenge did intrigue
A champion, I’d never known defeat
Like Athens, I soon fell to the Spartan sword
But it was love I sought, not a distant foreign shore
My confidence betrayed me
My love of life will save me
And now I see it’s time to let you go
Oh humility, you made your way to me
Oh humility, you gave me eyes to see
Oh humility, you made your way to me
Oh humility, you brought me to my knees
My heart betrayed me
My love of life will save me
And now I see it’s time to let you go
My confidence betrayed me
My love of life will save me
And now I see it’s time to let you go

TRAGEDY
UNTOLD
Hey, I gotta let you know
There’s something on my mind
And maybe when I’ve said it I’ll be fine
I’ve been watching you for a while
Yes, you’ve occupied my mind
Ever since your eyes crossed with mine
You are stunning as you take it all in
And watch this curious world unfold
It’s the making of my tragedy untold
You are the essence
Of the woman in my mind
Soon my illusions and reality will collide
The energy of life enhanced, I felt it deeply in the
air
The woman prolonged each and every stare
And I began to settle in and let my inhibitions flee
Soon she would walk the beach with me
You are the essence
Of the woman in my mind
Soon my illusions and reality will collide
Then I saw him take to the stage
He approached without a sign
It was the woman in my mind that he did find
They greeted with a subtle kiss
Yes, I knew my game I had to fold
Now you’ve heard my tragedy untold
You are the essence
Of the woman in my mind
Soon my illusions and reality will collide

FEEL
You make me feel
So I offered you my heart
You make me unstable
You always creep into my mind
You’re really a myth to me
The further you get, the brighter you shine
I know you’re not real
But I can’t change the fact that you make me feel
You make me feel
And my heart you did steal
You’re a slut for attention
You define yourself through other people’s eyes
You’re materialistic
You’re everything that I thought I didn’t want
Another song about heartaches cry
But it feels so unique when the pain is mine
I know you’re not real
Yeah, but I can’t change the fact that you make me feel
You make me feel
And my heart you did steal

FLEEING
TOWARDS CREATION
I want to see beyond
I want to live in the moment of song
I’d leave it all behind
If just a moment more of passion I’d find
It always fell into place
When I was reckless and had time to waste
It’s all I have that’s true
Creation is the love in me and you
I am fleeing towards creation
It’s all I have that’s real
Fleeing towards creation
Thought about letting it go
But chasing dreams is all I know
It’s all I have that’s true
Creation is the love in me and you
I am fleeing towards creation
It’s all I have that’s real
Fleeing towards creation

CRISIS
How much freedom, yes, and how much force
When to take a different course
How much time should we draw the line
Should the body rule the weakened mind
Can we feel it from within
When is too late or is it destined fate
If we don’t change now will it be too late
Yes, I hope our time has not passed
How much wealth do we hope to gain
Technology evolves but our minds stay the same
Our desires stay the same
Yes, it seems like I’ve reached the crisis
That I thought I’d always avoid
Yes, it seems like I’ve reached the crisis
And I fear my life I’ll destroy
Yes, it seems like I’ve reached the crisis
That I’ve always feared
Yes, it seems like I’ve reached the crisis
Can we understand the questions asked
Or hide behind that social mask
But you cannot hide from yourself
Do we owe nothing to those whose path we cross
With indifference in the heart, it is love that is lost
And you cannot lose your love
When to stop a tyrant’s thought
Until one is touched they will help you not
They must feel it in their homes
How to stay true when the heart grows cold
So much pain in the world we are shown
Into the world we are thrown
Yes, it seems like I’ve reached the crisis
That I thought I’d always avoid
Yes, it seems like I’ve reached the crisis
And I fear my life I’ll destroy
Yes, it seems like I’ve reached the crisis
That I’ve always feared
Yes, it seems like I’ve reached the crisis
And know I see it all so clear
I have awoken from a slumber indifferent and deep
On the floor I lay broken,
to my feelings I’ve accepted defeat
Wait and see, I said, things will change
Nothing’s forever, nothing stays the same
Now I am reborn with shattered pride
With the realization that to myself I had lied
I had believed but the feeling had gone away
What encompassed my life before
was but a reminder of surrendered faith
As I speak I am born again,
I can feel it building the pain I will mend
I will create, yes, and let it flow,
I will find joy in the worlds I will know
I have awoken from a slumber indifferent and deep
And deep

ALL
I SEE
3000 miles, 400 days
Still all I see is your face
All I see is your face
I had never loved before
Oh and your splendor I adored
Still my devotion you ignored
Now all I see is your face
Another time, another place
Still all I see is your face
All I see is your face
I offered you my heart
Yes, but you slowly pulled away
You played me with my own game
Now all I see is your face
I really thought that you would say that you loved
me
I really thought that things would change
But you showed me
How could I be blinded by this love, and now it’s gone
I offered you my heart
Yes, but you slowly pulled away
You played me with my own game
Now all I see is your face
I had never loved before
Oh and your splendor I adored
Still my devotion you ignored
Now all I see is your face
